Domain Awareness is a computerized monitoring system used by the city of New York. It mimics several of the Machine's functions: it monitors various video feeds and electronic communications. The system is connected to over 3000 surveillance cameras and thousands of radiation detectors on police boats, patrol cars and personnel. The system, created by the NYPD and Microsoft at a cost of $40 million, went live in August of 2012.[1][2]
